On November 2, 2022, Estee Lauder issued a press release announcing it was lowering its full year outlook for fiscal 2023. Among other items, the Company announced net sales of $3.93 billion for its first quarter, a decline of 11% from $4.39 billion in the prior-year period, including negative impacts from foreign currency. Additionally, organic net sales fell 5%. Estee Lauder attributed these results to headwinds from the COVID-19 restrictions in China, supply chain disruptions and record-high inflation.
On this news, Estee Lauder’s stock price fell $16.80 per share, or 8.13%, to close at $189.96 per share on November 2, 2022.
Then, on February 2, 2023, Estee Lauder issued a press release announcing that it was again lowering its outlook for fiscal year 2023. Despite the fact that emerging markets in other parts of Asia and the West delivered strong organic net sales growth, the Company blamed its lowered guidance on greater than anticipated challenges of COVID-19 restrictions in China.
On this news, Estee Lauder’s stock price fell $19.63 per share, or 6.99%, over the following three trading sessions, to close at $261.17 per share on February 6, 2023.
Finally, on May 3, 2023, Estee Lauder issued another press release announcing weaker sales and profit for the year than estimated and accordingly cut its fiscal year outlook for a third consecutive time.
On this news, Estee Lauder’s stock price fell $42.52 per share, or 17.34%, to close at $202.70 per share on May 3, 2023.
